1. Towards sustainable urban transportation : Test, demonstration and development of fuel cell and hybrid-electric buses
Abstract : Several aspects make today’s transport system non-sustainable: • Production, transport and combustion of fossil fuels lead to global and local environmental problems. • Oil dependency in the transport sector may lead to economical and political instability. READ MORE

2. Transport of Particles in Turbulent Flow with Application to Bio-Fuels
Abstract : Development of civilization faces a challenge of developing the resources of energy demand for the modern life. Extensive use of conventional fuel resources like crude oil and coal rise up a serious problem of increasing CO2 emission. New records levels of CO2 were registered during the early beginning of industrial revolution (http://climate.nasa. READ MORE

3. Modelling elements in conversion of solid fuels - fixed bed combustion and gaseous radiation
Abstract : For a long heat and power production by combustion of solid fuels has time been an established technique. Environmental concern of emissions for NOx, SOx and other harmful species has caused an increasingly stricter legislation on the emission levels of the boilers. READ MORE

4. Small-scale combustion of agricultural biomass fuels
Abstract : The ambitious targets of the European Union in increasing the use of renewable energies to 20% of Europe’s energy needs, call for urgent changes, including in the biomass sector. The share of solid biomass for heating purposes could be further increased by replacing oil- and gas-fired furnaces with biomass boilers and by expanding the spectrum of biomass raw materials for small-scale combustion systems.

5. On Alternative Fuels for Internal Combustion Engines : A study of biodiesel, gaseous methane and methanol
Abstract : This thesis covers some of the environmental impacts of internalcombustion engines running on alternative fuels. The focus of thestudies conveyed is the reduction of greenhouse gases and particleemissions, as these two factors are of great importance for the pathsthat road transportation is facing. READ MORE
